A university has a top museum, reflecting the leading side of the American university. The University of Pennsylvania Archaeological and Human Museum is famous in the archaeological community. I was surprised it was founded as early as 1887, and I was surprised that it had a million pieces in its collection, and even more surprised that the dome hall in the center of the museum was left with Chinese artifacts. In many aspects of ancient bronzes, mausoleum stone carvings, Buddhist sculptures and temple-viewing murals, Penn is a leader in overseas museums, which once led the collection of Chinese art in North America. The Chinese academic community in North America even invented the term "China Round Hall", which refers to the art collection under the main dome of the Penn Museum. Forgive my custom, I love the bright jewelry more than the Buddha statues of the surrounding value. The small watermelon crystal ball placed around the middle of the hall turned around to see, through the crystal ball refracted the reflection of the opposite scenery, magical and interesting, no wonder Cixi is extremely fond of. For and playing, I also choose "play reward". The most watched exhibits by the Chinese are two gods from the Zhaoling Tomb of Tang Taizong. The Lulu Zi and Quan Mao displayed at the Xi'an Stele Forest Museum in China are replicas made of plaster and cement. The Egyptian collection of the Penn Museum is considered one of the best in the world, with a large collection of statues, mummies and reliefs, and the most well-known is its collection of towers, The 13-ton Granite Sphinx of Ramses II is very striking. Tickets are $15 for adults; $13 for 65+; $10 for6-17 age; free for under 5 years old. (There is a discount in the summer, $10 for tickets when I go)* Visit time, at least 1.5 hours. Loved art, more than 2 hours.

    I have to blow up this museum. I didn't expect it to be so good, and it won't be particularly tired. He is the most boutique cultural relics in various fields. It's really breathtaking. It's so shocking.

    Very cool museum with a lot of amazing mummies! Many large artworks have plenty of space for everyone to visit. There is also the world's second largest crystal ball in beautiful silver spray. Many impressive exhibits and wonderful introductions. You can visit in a few hours.

    Not a free attraction, at about fifteen dollars, Trip.com can book a discounted fare, there are many precious ancient human bones and fossils excavated by archaeological excavations around the world, not many, but they are very precious and well protected.

    The University of Pennsylvania Archaeology and Humanity Museum is famous in the archaeological community and is a world-class museum. This museum knows very few people and is highly recommended. I was surprised it was founded as early as 1887, and I was surprised that it had a million pieces in its collection, and even more surprised that the dome hall in the center of the museum was left with Chinese artifacts. In the middle of the hall is the crystal ball of the Queen Cixi's favorite small watermelon, reflecting the reflection of the opposite scenery through the crystal ball, magical and interesting. Two huge murals on both sides of the hall, from the mural of Guangsheng Temple in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, are the same monastery as the giant pharmacist's statement in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, which shows that the museum's collection is extremely high. The most watched exhibits by the Chinese are two god horses from the Zhaoling Tomb of Tang Taizong. The Egyptian collection of the Penn Museum is considered one of the best in the world, with a large collection of statues, mummies and reliefs, the most famous is its collection of towers, 13 tons of Ramses II's granite sphinx, very striking. We also saw many mummies, there were kittens mummies, and several mummies were stripped and displayed, which was also an eye-opener. The archaeological restoration laboratory, you can see the restoration work through the glass, and there are several mummies inside. However, I still felt infiltrated, and I didn't look at the pictures carefully to explain if archaeological excavations and restorations were done. There is a hall on the first floor of the basement, a restored part of the Egyptian temple, and a sphinx of the treasure of the town hall. How to get, how to move, how to make a home in this museum in Philadelphia, there are detailed pictures. Summer trip, half price, $10. Worth it
